Hello,
Long time since I posted here but this thread just caught my eye.
The "dominance theory" is valid and workable but you must interpret the theory correctly in order to understand it.

Dogs are predators - predators have to conserve as much energy as possible to survive - they conserve energy in order to hunt for food - we feed our dogs so that takes away the need to hunt but the...
This little guy has an awful lot of issues to deal with right now and i have a few questions, if you don't mind?
When he is kenelled is he with the other dogs or on his own?

Number 1 - do not let them out together unless you are there to supervise - when supervising have a can with three or four coins or pebbles in it and as soon as any dog shows interest in a flower bed...
What is the anxiety disorder and who diagnosed it?
Lizbud, Smokey is simply letting you know where he considers you to be the one in complete control and where he thinks there could be a little opening in the leadership stakes! I wouldn't worry about...
Pups of this age can be aggressive. Before I say anything else I would urge you to take a deep breath, sit down and think VERY carefully before you commit yourself any further. You have time...

I think your pup is still developing control of his bladder and this will sort itself out in time - keep doing what you are doing with the house training and it will come right in the end. The fact...
Please excuse my ignorance but what breed is Smokey? (I haven't been around much for a while.)
As this dog has had seizures in the past I would strongly advise at least a phone call to your vet to...
Christmas will be extra special for me this year.
My husband will be at home after four months in Canada, my best friend, Rachelle, and her daughter will be here - they moved out to live in Canada...
What happened wasn't your fault at all. We can not control the actions of those people living near us or predict everything that they will do. Your neighbour was at fault, not you. Without a crystal...
My husband came home with a white "thing" that had four wheels not so long ago. He said it was a car. I love my husband and so chose to believe him. He said that he had paid £50 for it and I laughed...
